[A rare case of coecal volvulus after colonoskopy due to a mobile coekum - diagnosis, surgical therapy and postoperative complications].

Colonoscopy, either performed as screening or as a therapeutic proceedure, is, in general, very safe with only a few cases of serious complications. Most cases of bleeding after endoscopic polypectomy can be safely managed endoscopically. The rare cases of colonic perforations still have to be managed by surgical intervention.
